Joint Statement from Ipswich Christian Leaders- Final
Joint Statement from Christian leaders in Ipswich in response to the killing of George Floyd Friday 5th June 2020 The killing of George Floyd was a tragic act of violence that has revealed that racial injustices, amongst many other prejudices, are still present throughout society. George Floyd was denied the fundamental right to life, and his killing is an insult to the God-given dignity of every human being. George Floyd’s death has provoked anger across the world and we, as church leaders in Suffolk, join with those who call for justice. Many people in our community face racial discrimination every day. This discrimination, expressed in many forms, all too often goes unchecked. We must unite to call out racism wherever we see it and hold one another accountable for our words and actions. We reaffirm our commitment to eradicating all forms of racism in all parts of society because every human life is precious and honoured by God. We ask you to join us to shine as lights in the darkness, to uncover the forces of prejudice and discrimination that still divide our community. Signatories: 1. Pastor Harold Afflu (Lead Pastor, Ipswich International Church, Elim) 2. The Rt Revd Martin Seeley (Bishop of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich, Church of England) 3. The Rt Revd Mike Harrison (Bishop of Dunwich, Church of England) 4. Rev. Peterson Anand (Minister of Nansen Road Baptist Church, Ipswich) 5. Rev Nick Atkins (St Matthew’s Church) 6. Derek Austin (Churchwarden, St Mary’s, Witnesham) 7. Jim Bird (Churchwarden, St Martin’s Church, Tuddenham St Martin) 8.

Parish Share and Its Context
Parish share and its context For Parish/ Benefice Treasurers and PCCs This is a short booklet to answer some of the questions we are most frequently asked, including: 1 What does parish share (formerly known as centenary share) pay for? 2 How is parish share calculated, what is the timing of budgets centrally and how these are agreed with benefices? 3 Who is who at the Bishop’s and Diocesan offices? 4 What is the relationship between a diocese and the national church, especially regarding parish share? This booklet is correct at the time of publication but will inevitably be overtaken by events – please check our website for the latest information: www.cofesuffolk.org/for-parishes/parish-administration/parish-share Issued March 2021 Revised Mary 2021 1 What does parish share pay for? 1.1 What is parish share? Parish share is the mechanism this diocese uses to divide the total diocesan costs of ministry and mission between each benefice. It is the payment made by parishes to the Diocesan Board of Finance (DBF). The DBF is the charity and the administrative hub for the Church of England in Suffolk. The parish share payment finances the following: • Cost of a priest in a benefice, covering the salary (stipend) and housing and pension costs • Archdeacons • Training costs of existing clergy and lay ministers • Development of future clergy and lay ministers for example ordinands, curates, pioneers, evangelists and children’s and families’ workers • Provision of mission-based resources • Church based advice • Safeguarding case work and training, overseen by the national church team • The diocesan office including administration of Diocesan Synod and the charity • The diocesan registrar, who looks after the legal aspects for both parishes and the diocesan office • Contributions to the national church, as required by General Synod (see section 4).

A Benefice Service of Holy Communion for the Feast of St Peter & St Paul
A Benefice Service of Holy Communion For the Feast of St Peter & St Paul Fourth Sunday after Trinity Sunday 27th June 2021 Aldeburgh Parish Church President and Preacher: The Ven Jeanette Gosney Archdeacon of Suffolk Welcome Today is a multi-layered celebration. It is Aldeburgh’s Patronal Festival, and our readings speak of Patron Saints Peter and Paul. But it is a much more personal celebration too. Last year The Revd Johanna Mabey reached the end of her time as an Assistant Curate in training. At the same time The Revd James Marston was ordained Priest in our cathedral. In both cases we were not able to celebrate with them because of the Covid 19-related restrictions but today we can. We welcome our Archdeacon, The Ven. Jeanette Gosney, who will license Jo as an Assistant Priest in our benefice as well as presiding and preaching at our Patronal Festival service. And she will be assisted, in the role of Liturgical Deacon, by James. We thank Jo and James for all that they have already done for us and pray for their future ministry among us. We are very lucky to be able to share the ministry of Christ’s church with them. As long as the weather smiles on us please do stay and have some refreshments with us after the service – and hopefully we will be able to raise a glass to Jo, James and all that is to come. ¶ The Gathering In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. All Amen.
